What to eat for bloating

Generally, for bloating, you can eat foods such as bananas, yogurt, oats, celery, and hawthorn, and take medications such as Domperidone tablets, Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets, Mosapride Citrate tablets, Compound Digestive Enzyme capsules, and Bifidobacterium Quadruple Strain tablets according to a doctor's instructions. Detailed explanations are as follows:

I. Foods

1. Bananas

Bananas are rich in potassium, which helps regulate electrolyte balance in the body, maintain normal contraction function of gastrointestinal smooth muscles, and promote gas expulsion. Meanwhile, the dietary fiber in bananas can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, aid digestion, and reduce gas production caused by food fermentation in the intestines.

2. Yogurt

Yogurt contains abundant probiotics, such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus acidophilus. These probiotics can regulate the balance of intestinal flora, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, improve intestinal digestive function, reduce gas production, and thus alleviate bloating.

3. Oats

As a high-fiber food, oats contain dietary fiber that increases stool volume, stimulates intestinal peristalsis, accelerates the passage of food through the intestines, and reduces the time gas accumulates in the intestines.

4. Celery

Celery is rich in dietary fiber and water. The dietary fiber promotes intestinal peristalsis, while the water helps soften stools, making bowel movements smoother and reducing bloating caused by constipation.

5. Hawthorn

Hawthorn contains various organic acids, such as hawthorn acid and citric acid, which can promote gastric juice secretion, enhance the activity of pepsin, aid digestion, and relieve bloating caused by indigestion.

II. Medications

1. Domperidone Tablets

Domperidone tablets are pro-gastrointestinal motility drugs that primarily act on dopamine receptors in the gastrointestinal tract. They enhance gastrointestinal peristalsis, promote gastric emptying, coordinate gastric and duodenal motility, prevent food reflux, and thereby relieve bloating symptoms.

2. Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets

Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets mainly contain ingredients such as Radix Pseudostellariae, tangerine peel, Chinese yam, malt, and hawthorn. Radix Pseudostellariae strengthens the spleen and benefits the stomach; tangerine peel regulates qi and strengthens the spleen; Chinese yam nourishes the spleen and stomach; malt and hawthorn help digestion and eliminate food accumulation. When used together, these ingredients enhance spleen and stomach function, promote digestion, and relieve bloating caused by indigestion.

3. Mosapride Citrate Tablets

Mosapride Citrate tablets are selective 5-hydroxytryptamine 4 (5-HT4) receptor agonists. They stimulate cholinergic interneurons and the 5-HT4 receptors in the myenteric plexus of the gastrointestinal tract, promoting the release of acetylcholine, thereby enhancing gastrointestinal motility, improving gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with functional dyspepsia, and reducing bloating.

4. Compound Digestive Enzyme Capsules

Compound Digestive Enzyme capsules contain various digestive enzymes, such as pepsin, trypsin, amylase, and lipase. These enzymes can supplement insufficient human digestive enzymes, promote food digestion and absorption, reduce gastrointestinal burden, and relieve bloating caused by poor digestion.

5. Bifidobacterium Quadruple Strain Tablets

Bifidobacterium Quadruple Strain tablets are composed of Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Enterococcus faecalis, and Bacillus cereus. They directly supplement the body's normal physiological bacteria, adjust the balance of intestinal flora, inhibit and eliminate harmful bacteria in the intestines, improve intestinal function, reduce gas production, and relieve bloating.

In daily life, it is important to maintain regular eating habits, consume meals at regular times and in moderate amounts, avoid overeating, and prevent increasing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and triggering bloating.
